Crochet A Car Hanger Tutorial

The tutorial demonstrates how to create a handmade crochet strawberry car hanger. It guides viewers step-by-step with clear instructions for crafting the strawberry, leaves, flower, and assembling the components. Required materials include a medium crochet hook, yarn (red, green, yellow, white), scissors, a darning needle, stuffing, and a hot glue gun.

Creating the Strawberry Base

1. Start with a Magic Circle:

   • Create a magic circle and chain one to begin the base of the strawberry.

2. Crochet the Strawberry:

   • The tutorial highlights crocheting techniques (e.g., single crochets, slip stitches, chaining) to shape the strawberry.
   • Patterns adjust as rows progress, using increases and decreases to sculpt the body of the strawberry.

1. Closing and Stuffing:

   • The base is tightened by pulling loops and weaving through front loops with a darning needle.
   • Add stuffing until the strawberry reaches the desired shape and firmness.
   • The final step involves securing and cutting excess yarn.

Adding the Strawberry Seeds

• Yellow Detailing:
  • Dark yellow yarn is used to create small seeds on the surface of the strawberry, sewn using a darning needle.
  • Seeds are placed evenly for a natural strawberry appearance.

• Once satisfied with the seed placement, weave in loose ends for a polished look.

Crocheting the Green Leaves

1. Magic Circle for Leaves:

   • Begin with green yarn and create a magic circle with five single crochets.
   • The tutorial demonstrates chaining and slip stitching to create the leafy texture.

2. Shaping the Leaves:

   • Leaves are shaped through single crochets, half double crochets, and double crochets for intricate detailing.
   • Patterns are repeated on both sides to create symmetrical leaves.

1. Final Touches:

   • Loose yarn ends are secured by burning or gluing to prevent fraying.
   • Weave the yarn through the strawberry base to attach the leaves.

Creating the Flower

1. Yellow Center of Flower:

   • Begin with yellow yarn to crochet a circular center for the flower.

1. White Puff Petals:

   • Using white yarn, puff stitches are crocheted around the yellow center to form petals.
   • The tutorial emphasizes repeating patterns until five petals are complete.

2. Attaching Green Base:

   • A green circle is crocheted for the base of the flower, which is attached securely.
   • Loose ends are woven and hidden for a neat finish.

Final Assembly

1. Creating the Hanging Chain:

   • Use green yarn to crochet a long chain (about 60 stitches) for hanging the car hanger.

1. Attaching Components:

   • The strawberry, leaves, flower, and chain are sewn together using a darning needle.
   • Hot glue is applied in certain areas for extra security.

2. Adding Final Details:

   • The hanger is tied and finished with careful adjustments to ensure durability.
   • Loose ends are trimmed, glued, or tucked away.
